A demand under the performance bonds was valid because, read objectively and in the light of the employer's own knowledge and supporting evidence, the letters of demand conveyed the employer's opinion of contractor default, identified the contractual provision breached (clause 25(1)(b)), specified damages sustained by reason of that default and limited the claim to the retention advances; accordingly the defendant had no arguable defence and judgment was entered for the plaintiff.
